How to install Archivemount on Ubuntu 16.04
The Archivemount command is used to mount the file tree contained in the archivepath on the directory mountpoint. It is a FUSE-based file system that mounts the archives to a mount point where it can be read from or written to as other file system. This tutorial explains the installation process of Archivemount on Ubuntu.
